Recipe: Mojo Chicken

Thursday, June 4, 2015

We had the yummiest dinner last night!  I am not very good at cooking things outside my comfort zone, or my "go to" recipes but this one looked so good I couldn't resist.

Here's the recipe from Purdue:
Ingredients
1 package chicken breasts
1 (20-ounce) bottle mojo criollo citrus marinade (we used a garlic lime)
1 1/4 teaspoons adobo seasoning
8 rings of fresh pineapple, sliced 1/2-inch thick
1 cup chopped tomato
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeno pepper, optional
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice, about 1/2 of a lime
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps
- put chicken and marinade in plastic bag, set in refridgerator for 1-2 hours to marinade
- remove from marinade, sprinkle with adobo seasoning and grill chicken breasts
- Finely chop remaining ingredients for the salsa
- let the chicken rest for a couple minutes
- serve over rice

Here is how ours turned out tonight! It was very fresh.  PS, I forgot the tomatoes, it was a long day...


Buon Appetito!
